This is the most amazing bit of modelling I’ve ever seen: Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I by David Glen (Scratchbuilt 1/5)

    I used to build model cars. Wow.

    Wow.

    Flying model aircraft again I’m always surprised at the amount of time and detail some of the old guys put into their models. I only wish I had that sort of time, patience, and skill.

    I’d be terrified to fly some of the stuff that they bring up to the field for fear of damage. It would be heart breaking to put hundreds or thousands of hours into something only to watch it plow into the ground – crashes happen.
